Description

This is the original pic that my avatar is taken from. It was done with Photoshop and Illustrator. I got the idea from the book "Gates of Fire". The flames represent the title of the book. I imagined a helmet that is reflecting these flames. Decided to make it more abstract than just a reflection, so I used flames to make the material of the helmet. The BURN tool was used in Photoshop to suggest the shadows of the helmet's shape. The background is intended to represent the patina bronze gets.
